From roster to lab, without a coordinator on the phone. Here's exactly what happens at each step, and why it's built that way.
Most companies land on one of three approaches — and two of them cost more than they need to, or leave a paper trail with holes in it.
| Spreadsheet / manual | Desktop software | Full-service TPA | DTSMS Online | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Setup cost | None | License fee | None | None |
| Ongoing cost | None | Per-seat renewal | Monthly service + per-pull fee | Per driver, no minimum |
| Audit trail | Depends on who kept it | Yes, on one machine | Yes, held by the TPA | Yes, always accessible |
| Access | Any device | One installed computer | Through the TPA | Any device, anywhere |
| Who runs the pull | You | You | The TPA | You |
No coordinator on the phone, no waiting on a service to run the pull for you.
Upload your CDL roster or add drivers one at a time. DTSMS Online tracks who's eligible and who's already tested this cycle.
One click generates a random selection sized to your testing rate. The eligible pool is locked in the moment you pull — it can't be changed after the fact.
Export or print the notification and hand it to the driver. Every notification is timestamped, so you can show exactly when it went out.
Every pull captures what an auditor actually checks for — not just that a name was picked, but that it was picked fairly, from the right pool, and left alone afterward. See the full compliance breakdown on our DOT compliance page.
Your first selection is free, any pool size. No card, no sales call.
